Was just on the Summit website and yes the price was still $ 575. I am tempted. Long ago I inquired and have been watching with some interest. I have a 67 Cougar with I believe to be the arly style column which according to this:
"We found out that there was a split in production with a change in '67 so we have two different steering kits. One steering kit for '65-'66 and one kit for '68-'70, the '67 will need one of those two.
Both kits are basically set and going into production. The '65-'66 will be ready to ship in a couple of weeks and the '68-'70 will be ready to ship in 6 weeks, e.t.a. Each kit is going to cost $875. it will include everything that you need to do a complete change over, provided you have the stock column.
Each kit will have: the manual rack & pinion, mounting bracket, outer tie rods, U-joints, shafting, and column bushing, bracket, and gasket, as well as all mounting hardware. Everything to do the conversion."
Means I need the 65-66 kit. I have an extra 68 column in the garage but it has a different wiring harness. Ahh the wonders of model changes. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't want to spend $575 on the wrong part. I guess I could always return/exchange if I need the right one. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
Jason
